    Summary

    Something is different about Shadowheart.
    Something trivial, surely, because otherwise Lae'zel would notice it right away.

    Her nose has probably just gotten bigger or something. That's all.

    Summary

    “Just when I thought I’d seen the depravity of your kind at its fullest. Stealing a poor dog’s ball?” Shadowheart makes a grab for the ball; Lae’zel tosses it to her other hand, grimacing at the sheen of drool it leaves behind. “For what purpose? Just to ruin the day of a being actually capable of feeling joy?”

    “By the hells, Shadowheart, she’s taking the thing for a bloody walk,” Wyll says from his tent.

    “A walk,” Shadowheart repeats, crossing her arms. “Why?”

    “I assume the animals of this world require some amount of exercise if they’re not to collapse under the weight of their own atrophying muscles,” Lae’zel says. “But you wouldn’t know, would you? Do the disciples of Shar pre-kill their pets so they can skip right to the loss?”

    -------------------

    Lae'zel starts to take Scratch out for daily walks. Shadowheart's determined to figure out why.

    Summary

    After a bit of 'late night stress relief', Shadowheart asks for something rather simple from Lae'zel: some cuddling.

    The Gith takes exception to this request.

    At first.
